 It's not necessarily okay, it's actually a pretty low thing to do, but this is what happens when you agree to have no strings attached sex with someone. He's still technically single and free to do what he likes with other people. If this isn't something you can handle, don't agree to be FWB with someone in the first place.

He can do whatever he wants. You are not seeing him on a romantic level. FWB is a disrespectful situation and I hope you never enter into a situation as this again. Not trying to be mean but it is belittling to allow this arrangement.

I agree with The Realist. He IS allowed to be single but its kind of classless to flirt (most likely with the intention of hooking up) with your friends. I mean, playful flirting is probably no biggie, as long as that's the level it stays at.
FWB or whatever, you both should still be respectful to each other and agree upon the rules of your arrangement. So yeah, I'd say mention it. In a more "What's the deal here?" kind of way rather than coming off as trying to tell him what to do. After all, you both are single and hopefully you have good enough friends that they wouldn't hook-up with your FWB, which is a little gross to be sharing like that...

if you're just FWB then yes it's appropriate to flirt with other people.
but human nature being what it is, this is why FWB relationships are rarely so simple and usually lead to a lot of complications and misunderstandings
so I guess my answer is yes it's technically appropriate to flirt with others, but that doesn't mean it won't have negative emotional consequences.

 Technically I would say that if you are just friends with benifits the other person is allowed to do anything that they could if they were single. So although it isn't the classiest thing to do he really isn't wrong for doing it.
